Hi, I am a graduate from The Ohio State University and am looking to help families out! I am offering child care, senior care or house hold services. I love babysitting and have been babysitting for over 11 years, and children of all age ranges. Children truly bring joy to my life and look forward to babysitting your children!! I also work as a house assistant and can cook, clean and run errands. I am also comfortable with senior care. Driving to appointments, cooking, cleaning, or even just being there and playing cards. I love animals, so pets are always a bonus :)

Very fun, plays big time with kids, would definitely hire again

Lily $25 per hour for 1 child

I have a strong background in healthcare and caregiving, supported by both hands-on experience and academic training. I recently graduated from nursing school and am a Registered Nurse. I will begin working as an emergency department nurse at The Ohio State University in April and completed my capstone preceptorship in the emergency department, where I cared for patients across the lifespan in high-stress, fast-paced situations. I hold certifications in BLS, Trauma-Informed Care (TIC), and Crisis Prevention Intervention (CPI), all of which support my ability to provide safe, responsive, and compassionate care. In addition to my clinical work, I have experience working with children through my time at Jumpstart, where I supported early childhood education and development in underserved communities. I have also working with adolescents in a psychiatric setting and provided mentorship to adolescents through my work at Brown University’s precollege program. I have past experience working with young children in volunteer settings during high school and college. I’ve also worked with seniors and individuals with mental health needs in long-term care and inpatient psychiatric settings. I’m comfortable supporting people with complex health conditions, behavioral challenges, and developmental needs. I additionally have experience providing household assistance and caring for pets. I’m dependable, patient, and calm under pressure, with strong communication skills and a deep sense of empathy. My background in Medical Anthropology adds to my holistic, culturally sensitive approach to caregiving. I genuinely enjoy building trust with the individuals and families I care for, ensuring they feel safe, respected, and supported.

Natalie $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Natalie. I’ve been babysitting and nannying since I was 10 years old, and I’m comfortable caring for kids of all ages. I’m a registered dietitian with a master’s degree in nutrition, and I currently work from home as an Account Manager for Vibrant Wellness Labs. I’m very hands-on and always engaged with the kids, whether that’s playing outside, doing crafts, helping with homework, or keeping them active. I keep a clean, tidy house and am happy to help with household tasks. I’m CPR certified, love playing soccer, walking my dog, and cooking healthy meals.

Montserrat $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I’m Monse, and I truly enjoy spending time with children and helping them learn, play, and grow. I used to be an Au Pair and I took care of kids of different ages (from toddlers to school-age children) I also worked in a kids’ party room, where I organized games and activities, and have done occasional babysitting for several families. I’m a patient, caring, and responsible person who loves creating a fun and safe environment for kids. Whether it’s helping with homework, playing outdoors, or doing arts and crafts, I always do my best to make every moment positive and engaging. I’d love to bring my experience, energy, and warmth to your family! I’m a big animal lover and have experience caring for small and medium-sized dogs, but I’m always open to discussing other sizes too! I enjoy taking dogs for walks, playing with them, and making sure they feel loved, safe, and comfortable while their owners are away. Let’s connect!!
